Abstract (en)
A method and device for processing ultrasonic data from an industrial inspection device. Ultrasonic reflections from a high-resolution phased array are sampled at high-frequency to create a large volume of data. The data are converted to I/Q data and compressed to a manageable size. An external computer can beamform and render an image without restoring the compressed data to raw form. This method may be used for in-line inspection, downhole inspection, or ultrasonic testing.
